What is the best food to feed my new tea cup yorkie?

Question

Hello World. I'm new to this. I wanted to share with you all... I just receive a small tea cup yorkie a couple of weeks ago. She is very loving and spoil. She seems to want what I have. I give her some of the things I have sometimes. I wanted to know what is the best food to give her? The dog food that came with her is pretty good. But she seems not to be so crazy about it. I notice that she is a meat eater. So someone please share with me what would be good for her? She really doesn't eat very much. She's very heathly though! Up to date on all of her shots and very playful. I spend alot of time with her so I know what she like and doesn't like. Any comments on what to try? I do not want to keep changing her food.

Teacup Yorkie Puppies

Answer 4

A premium dog food sold at pet stores that has small sized kibble. The Eukanuba brand mentioned by someone else here is a good choice. This should be mixed with warm water unless your pup is an established dry food grazer. For finicky eaters, a small amount of canned dog food or grated cheese can enhance the flavor. However, be aware it will also add to the caloric intake. All dogs like human food. Let's face it, prime rib and salmon mousse no doubt smells better than dog food. Like children though, they don't understand that what they want is not necessarily what they should have. Puppies and young dogs will beg. It's only natural. Feeding table scraps is a good way to create and maintain a finicky eater. I know it's hard to resist the temptation. We have an 18 week old collie puppy ourselves. However, you are the owner, the boss, the responsible one. Either crate him or put him outside when you're eating. No dog or kid will starve themselves. He will eventually eat what is in his bowl unless he's too filled up with treats before hand.

i am sorry to say but there is such a type of Yorkie call tea cup. i just means that it is a very small runt size puppy. be careful that is does develop any health problems. it can and will eat small bite puppy food of good quality . small dog have more problems with there teeth if they are feed to much soft food. ask you vet about how much to feed

Answer 6

well be very careful with the dog food you give her since all these pets have been dying, i feed my dogs Canine Caviare and they seem to like it. sometimes dogs get sick of dry food, and the best thing to do is get some canned food and mix it in with the dry food, this way there is a little bit of the wet food on the dry food! i try not to feed my dogs human food, but sometimes i want to give them a treat and this is what i do...i broil boneless, skinless lean chicken breast in water, NO salt or anything, and i steam some carrots and other veggies and cut it up very tiny and give it to them
i dont do this often cuz they will get use to it and not eat their food, but once in a while is ok. oh yeah dont feed ur dog fish, and never give them chicken bones to chew on. lamb and beef bones are the best to chew on, although shes still too young for that
hope this helps

I have a yorkshire terrier puppy, and have had yorkshire terriers in the past.
The breeder told my family to feed our new puppy (she is 5 months now) Eukanuba Petite puppy chicken flavor (its the pink one). This is good for the puppy because it has all of the right nutrients and it keeps their teeth clean.
However, it doesn't taste very good, according to our vet. Now that she is old enough, we've decided to limit her to 2 meals a day, and we mix her dry food with a Cesar or Pedigree petite dog food container. This type does taste good, and when mixed with the dry food your puppy will probably eat it all in one sitting rather than pick at it like she does with only dry food. Also consider getting a high calorie vitamin syrup to supplement her meals if she is not eating well. This does taste good and your dog will like it.
Lastly make sure to never feed her from the table, and only give her food after you are finished, so to enforce good habits as to her expecting and receiving human food. If you feed while you are eating she could begin to expect it from everyone and jump or bark when she doesn't get fed from your plate. Even when you do feed her human food you should put it in her dog bowl, also to reinforce her eating from her spot rather than a plate or the table. Hope this helps!

i am so sorry that you got scammed into thinking you got a special dog.. there is no such breed as a TEAcup yorkie,, you have runt dog, that was poorly bred and didn't grow to standard.. I hope that you did not have to pay for this dog. feed her premium high quality kibble ... stay away from giving her table scraps,, you want to try to keep this dog healthy

Answer 9

if you're willing to commit the time, the best diet for any dog is a natural diet prepared by you-meats, vegetables and cheese, with some grains for regularity. Most prepackaged dog foods are fine, but overestimate the amount you should give your pet, and are usually formulated VERY high in carbohydrates to give the dog the energy they need, but also tend to make dogs progressively gain weight as their metabolism drops (hence the percentage of overweight dogs out there).

Answer 10

If you can afford them, premium dog foods are the best. I would suggest Science Diet. When you change her food, make it a gradual change or it could make her sick. Its ok to give her human food once in a while, but limit it to cooked meat, eggs, and veggies. If you want to give her a grain, make sure it is in small pieces so it does not expand too much in her stomach. Bad things include grapes, tomatoes, onion, chocolate, and chicken bones. Chicken bones can splinter in the dog's throat, and need surgery to be removed. Chocolate and onions are toxic, and grapes and tomatoes are just bad for a dog.
